What if…?

Does it work on Android?

No. It's an Apple Wallet feature, iPhone only. Everything else works the same on Android.

How close do they have to be?

The iPhone decides, around 100 meters.

Do I have to send it?

No. It shows up on its own whenever they're nearby; you don't send anything.

Can I use it at a market or fair?

Yes: add a location with the market's location.
